We are kicking off the final weeks of 2013 with a bit of a bang and I’ve gone out to find the best possible free competitions for you to enter as we say Hello to Christmas and, pretty soon, farewell to 2013.

First up is the chance for you to win an iPad Mini and a £50 iTunes gift voucher courtesy of Shoe Zone*. To stand a chance of winning all you have to do is join in by registering on their site and then you are away and into the free prize draw to win the prize. They haven’t put up an expiry date (sigh) so make sure you enter now to avoid disappointment!

Recreate the magic of the epic movie with LEGO® The Hobbit: Desolation of Smaug sets. Search "LEGO Hobbit" to see the new Dol Guldur Ambush, Dol Guldur Battle, Mirkwood™ Elf Army and Lake Town Chase set. 1st Prize: A signed Hobbit Map by Richard Armitage and the Desolation of Smaug LEGO Hobbit range. 2nd Prize: 4x runner ups will win the LEGO Hobbit Lake Town Chase set.
